Hell hath no fury like a woman former supermodel scorned. You’d think after all these cycles, Janice Dickinson wouldn’t be so bitter about leaving “America’s Next Top Model” and former boss, Tyra Banks. Instead, she sounds even angrier. Gotta love a good celebrity catfight. Is her latest rant about ANTM simply the truth, sour grapes or an attempt to stay relevant? You decide.
In light of the recent judging panel spring cleaning, former judge herself, Dickinson went on Sirius XM’s “Derek and Romaine” show to give her two cents on Nigel Barker, Jay Alexander and Jay Manuel’s exit on the venerable modeling show. If I can liken her interview to anything, I would compare it to an air raid on Baghdad during the Gulf War. She was dropping bomb, after bomb, after bomb.
When asked her opinion about the judging panel shakeup, Janice says it was motivated by money and says Tyra is “one selfish greedy woman“. She then continues to rag on Tyrant and adds that it probably wasn’t entirely her decision. “She doesn’t have a creative bone in her body, so someone else is pulling the strings on this one.” Then when asked about Nigel Barker, Janice claims Tyra kept him for so long because she was in love with him, but it was useless pining over him because…
According to Dickinson, Barker plays for our team. This is where she begins to lose her credibility, if you ask me. She jokingly adds that Nole Marin, her former judging panel enemy, is the fluffer on Nigel Barker’s photo shoots involving hot male models. She must be high at this point. LOL.
Just when her ramblings get too melodramatic, she catches my attention again by dropping a huge BOMB. She reveals that Tyra and the judges have no power on picking the winner. Instead, it’s one of the show’s major sponsors. “Covergirl chooses the model. It’s not the judges. It’s not Tyra.” While, I don’t believe half of what Dickinson is saying, the last claim is totally believable. I’ve felt that’s probably how decisions have gone down.
What do you think of Janice’s rants? Is she telling the truth or is she simply suffering from hallucinations due to more prescription drugs? Sound off below. If you want to hear all of Janice’s revelations for yourself, head over here to listen to the entire interview.

Covergirl really chose Teyona & Krista as their winner?(Their Covergirl’s photos & commercials were NIGHTMARES) and Nigel is gay?( I want to believe this one ;)) LOL Janice Dickinson is CRAZY

I have to disagree on the last one buddy. You think Covergirl would have picked burnt-out Lisa over sweet Allison?
Hilarious though, Nigel on the team would be many’s dream come true. Though he had a wife right? Well we know it doesn’t mean anything though..
Love Janice, but she only works well in a second row. When a show is about herself only like in that model agency, she’s all over the place. But when someone else does the main presenting role and she talks trash each in a while, that’s when we love her

Nigel is married! I just don’t see the point in throwing that out there. Although it would just be hilarious if he had a mid life crisis faze and tiger woods-ed his way out of the closet. Also, she’s said the Covergirl thing already, which is were I think she loses credibility , why would they pick the faces they have in the past if it was only their decision? Krista over Raina? Did you SEE Krista’s shot? Teyona over Allison? LISA over Allison? Salisha over literally anyone else????? I get that the brand might get a say in who wins, but some of the picks don’t make sense given the objectives of the brand.

Nole as a fluffer? Too hilarious!
Damn, it’s pretty certain now that Janice will never return to ANTM.

She is a lying ass hoe. We all all now Tyra is the tryant behind this conspiracy. Interesting hearing her two cents on things through.

The stuff about Nigel seems like crap, but what she said about Covergirl…well even crazy people tell the truth sometimes.

Nole has had many sexual harrassment suits from male models saying that Nole does try to get them to do explicit things with him and stuff like that. Google it. So I kinda find that part kinda credible.
